Albert Orenstein Obituary

Dear Orienstein Family, So sorry for your loss. Mr. Orienstein was my history teacher at Farragut. He was a great instructor and will be missed.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Higher Laws, 1854
A precise way of defining my feelings regarding a very special instructor at Farragut.

My condolences to Mr. Orenstein's family. I had the pleasure of having him as my boss for five of the ten years I taught at Kilmer. He was a wonderful, caring principal who only wanted the best for his students, faculty and surrounding community. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. O. was the Student Council Advisor when I was President of the Council. He may have been kind and gentle to some, but, thank goodness, he kept me focused on the work the Council had to do. I was somewhat immature at the time, and, it was only after I grew up some that I valued his guidance. He will be missed by so many.

My sympathy to his family.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Orenstein. He was a great teacher and a wonderful man and will be missed by many of us from Farragut High.

I have the fondest memories of Mr. Orenstein. He was a teacher who made learning fun and kept my attention in class without effort. He was a special man not only for his teaching abilities, but for his humor and kindness. He will be missed but his memories will stay.

Dear Myrna, Joe and Michael,
I am so sorry to hear of Al's death. I will miss him. He was not only a wonderful "Grandparent Volunteer" but my good friend all the years I was site coordinator at Oakton Community College. His gentleness and understanding of children was a model. He also listen to children and learned with them. He remained for them a "grandparent" to love and cherish and look after.
I will miss him so, along with you. I know the wonderful memories of times with Al, will help us as time passes.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Mr. Orenstein was my history teacher, 1954. Great guy and one of my favorite teachers. Will remember him always.

I am deeply saddened by Mr. Orenstein's passing. He was my high school US History teacher and we were all looking forward to his joining us next fall for our reunion.

Al will be missed by many. I had the pleasure to work with him in the old District Two when he was at Kilmer. "Commander Whitehead" was the sobriquet we gave him when he sported the beard that reminded one of the Commander in the Schweppes commercials of that era.
His memory will persist for a long time.

His gentle brilliance leaves a legacy -- personal and professional -- the rest of us in the family can only envy. What a good, good man . . .
Condolences to Myrna and the kids.
Alan
